Rishi Patel Planning for AS coursework on " An investigation to determine how the rate of an enzyme-catalysed reaction is affected by the availability of the active site of the enzyme during the reaction by using the enzyme catalase to decompose hydrogen peroxide" Aim The aim of this investigation is to determine how the rate of an enzyme-catalysed reaction is affected by the availability of the active site of the enzyme during the reaction. The effect on the rate of the reaction by the availability of the active sites on the enzyme catalase to decompose hydrogen peroxide will be studied. Safety precautions It is important to wear safety spectacles and plastic gloves at all times when carefully handling the hydrogen peroxide as it is extremely irritant to the skin and eyes. It is necessary to be careful when cutting tissues with the blade, which should be put away in its case when not...
